Yes! Silouettes are awesome for renderings. I also show them in areas where headspace is minimal.

Thanks guys, I only care about making them match for my renderings.

When it comes to framing members we can stain them any color we want. But Tongue & Groove is a texture that we choose from the library and cannot have color applied with the eyedropper. How can we make the two match?

This is why I love the forum, smart people helping others. I have never included the room finish schedule because I called the material out on elevations. Now I will by pass all that and add the schedules. Just like I wanted.........

what about renaming the moldings? No builder knows what CA-34 means. I wanted to give base board & crown sizes.

Thanks guys, got it to work...much appreciated.

Interesting! I will give that a try. Just to clarify, how do you open your materials plan dbx? The way I do it it won't let me copy by double clicking the space to open the box. Thanks!

How can we modify what the schedule states for material? example below.....thanks guys.

Thanks guys.......everything is good so far with edit area tool.

Hey guys, I have a home that has been decided on to rotate to have the front of home face the water. This would require rotating it 180 deg. It is fully designed but no electrical or framing yet. Is there any precautions or nightmares that will arise I need to know about before I proceed? I mirror homes all the time but have never had to rotate after we get it designed. Thanks

I actually just applied a wall cap (sill 04) to the exterior 2x4 walls. I try and avoid drawing anything manually in CA.

Got it to work pretty decent. I will detail the footer later. How come the fdn is doing this in front of the doors you think?

You are correct, just needed to know how to get that brick ledge depth right. Thanks!

I have been fooling with this for a little while and thought I'd ask. Which setting drops the brick ledge to show like the detail below at 11.5"? mine theirs

Dang chop that was too easy, thanks

Hey guys, I have several security cams shown on my electrical plan. Is there a way to get them to come into the electrical schedule instead of the fixtures schedule?

Do this all the time!

Looks like you have a PC setup like mine. How do you like the Alienware X15 w/ CA X14?

Thanks guys, I will give it a try.

Hey guys and gals, in certain situations CA can automatically develop a shutter style as shown below in red. How can we do this manually?

Thanks Joe!

When you do not get the rotate grip when selecting all, is there a pull down in the menu to do so? This happens from time to time and I usually rotate one at a time. These are basic polylines and autos from the catalog.

Alcohol makes placing or creating dormers less stressful.

Trying to get it to match this....

Occasionally this happens and just wondered how we can prevent this when walls are placed under the stairs. The ceiling plane won't close and the wall stud is exposed.
